2019 Audi RS 5 Chassis

FEEL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WILLING AND ABLE.

While the specs on some sports coupes look good on paper, the proof comes from the drive. Audi Sport® chassis engineers carefully calibrated the settings on the RS sport suspension and fitted standard 19" wheels or available 20" wheels to expand its footprint and help get a better handle on the turns. By applying our on-track knowledge to the Audi RS 5, you can experience the benefits of our lateral thinking.[1]

Available dynamic steering

An optional feature on the Audi RS 5, dynamic steering offers a variable ratio that can adjust according to vehicle speeds and Audi drive select mode. By changing the steering ratio, dynamic steering can help improve straight-line stability at highway speeds and improve steering precision through the corners.

Six-piston brake calipers and available Audi ceramic brakes

Lighter than conventional steel brake discs to help reduce unsprung weight, the available Audi ceramic front brake discs are made from an advanced ceramic compound that can withstand high temperatures and resist brake fade better than steel discs. The ceramic front discs are paired with six-piston brake calipers for confidence-inspiring stopping power.
